Kevin Gallo is hosting the next Windows Community Standup on November 29th, 2017 at 10:00am PST on Channel 9 with Seth Juarez!
Kevin will be answering questions we didn’t get to from the Windows Developer Day on October 10th. While we’re going through the list, we will be taking live questions too.
Windows community standup is a monthly online broadcast where we provide additional transparency on what we are building out, and why we are excited. As always, we welcome your feedback on what could be done better.
Once again, we can’t wait to see you at 10:00am PST on November 29th, 2017 over at https://channel9.msdn.com.

Thanks everyone for attending and asking some fantastic questions. We strive to answer all questions and be transparent with both what we are building and why we are building them. Kevin’s next Windows Community Standup will be on October 10th, 2017 at Windows Developer Day!
Kevin showed off how .NET Standard 2.0 works in a Universal Windows Platform Application by showing SqlClient code being used directly from a classic WinForm application, dragging those files into the UWP app’s code base and just running the application!
Kevin also showed off some of the advances inside Windows Ink that developers can take advantage of today. Shape recognition and much more!

Windows Developer Day is back! Join us on October 10, starting at 9:30 AM PDT via live stream, or attend a viewing party in your area (location list below), as we explore what’s new in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update for developers.
